When we ended our spring run of Patch Readers' Choice contests a few weeks ago, we had intended to take a summer break. But we're back already, with a new slew of Readers' Choice contests that are all happening now. At the same time. Starting today.

We want to know who/what/where you think is the best in Dedham.

Help Patch determine the best of the best in by entering your nominations in each one of the categories below. (Click on the category and then place your nomination in the comments stream at the bottom of the article.)

We will accept nominations until July 9.

Then, on July 23, come back to vote on which nominee is the best. Whoever gets the most votes will be named the Readers' Choice winner in that category.
